The list of upcoming Kpop comebacks in October 2023 is gloriously huge and we’re already tempted by the pre-released content and previews for the same, and lost in thought of all the masterpieces that are scheduled to release in the month. Although 2023 is nearing its end, its quite far from the finish line, and our favourite Kpop idols have no plans of flooring the brakes on their musical marathons anytime soon either.
September brought forth many golden melodies from the likes of BTS’ V aka Kim Taehyung, Kim Sejeong, with RIIZE urging us all to Get a Guitar, and the Queendom Puzzle winners debuting as part of the new global girl group EL7Z UP. Surprise were aplenty and they’ve all led us up to the 10th month of the year that is bound to equally special if not more. Here’s a concise list of comebacks, debuts, solo arrivals, and some Kpop OSTs set to release in the forthcoming month.
